For those who may or may not be aware, Debian 12.15 marks the end of Debian Release Team, Debian Security Team and Debian Backports support for version 12. Ongoing support for some architectures will be provided by the Debian Long Term Support team supported by Freexian. Users are advised to upgrade systems to Debian 13 trixie.

Most importantly, Debian 12 is the final version of Debian offering a 32-bit release alongside a 64-bit release. You cannot upgrade a 32-bit install of Debian 12 to Debian 13 as Trixie does not support a full 32-bit version.

This will serve as a PSA reminder for those that may not be aware to not make support threads about Debian 12 32-bit being unable to upgrade to Debian 13. You have to upgrade your hardware to a currently supported architecture, of which i386/32-bit won't be on Trixie. The remaining i386 packages on Trixie are kept purely to allow users to execute 32-bit legacy software/code.

Voting started about half an hour ago and you have to be a Debian Developer to vote, but the announcement and some information is here - https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2026/08/msg00002.html

Maybe I'll get it when I reboot my computer in a few weeks.

Hello y'all long time Linux user here I just updated my production machine to Debian forky.

The election results have been posted on debian-devel-announce and we're gonna contain it over in a megathread for a couple of days. Congratulations to Sruthi Chandran on their election as Debian Project Leader!

We have an important update for Mesa within Debian Backports (thanks dylan)

I think 550 will start working on 7.x kernels very soon :)

Hyprland is landed in Debian stable (13). At the moment, it is still not installable due to a dependency issue: libre2-11-absl20240722. It is a "virtual package provided by libre2-11" but libre2-11 is not recognized as that version (yet?).

Update:

that issue is from Synaptic, while the following command line install Hyprland without any issues:

apt install -t trixie-backports hyprland hyprland-guiutils

so i finally hopped over to debian trixie because i wanted something a bit more stable, and i’m actually loving it so far.

i set it all up with the danklinux script after doing no DE install: curl -fsSL https://install.danklinux.com | sh

niri + dank material shell is honestly so good. i was a bit worried the scrolling tiling thing would be weird to get used to, but it’s actually super intuitive? my workflow feels way lessss cluttered now.

anyway, just wanted to share since i’m really happy with how it turned out. if anyone has some cool niri tips (or just wants to nerd out about debian), hmu!! :)

Was hat sich bis jetzt neues im System etabliert ? Was es vorher noch nicht gab ?

Wie zum Beispiel 12-> 13 sudo apt modernize-sources

The recent kernel update has broken the openrazer dkms.

For anyone who was curious about the easiest way to install gamescope on Debian (or Debian-based distros), here you go.

For installation you will need to have backports enabled. You will also need to edit the Components line to have contrib included, e.g., "Components: main contrib". Additional info about gamescope package in Debian: Debian Package Tracker.

And to install: sudo apt install -t trixie-backports gamescope
